4 Because of the day that comes to plunder all the Philistines,To cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains;For the Lord shall plunder the Philistines,The remnant of the country of Caphtor.
5 Baldness has come upon Gaza,Ashkelon is cut offWith the remnant of their valley.How long will you cut yourself?
6 “O you sword of the Lord,How long until you are quiet?Put yourself up into your scabbard,Rest and be still!
7 How can it be quiet,Seeing the Lord has given it a chargeAgainst Ashkelon and against the seashore?There He has appointed it.”
